Well another very interesting project. Looking forward for the amazing result👍. What type of japanese cammo it will have? The same as on the picture? Or something "very special"?

15 April 2022, 10:52
Simon Nagorsnik
Very good work with the PE parts - my respect for that!
15 April 2022, 11:44
Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Simon 👍
Definitely not suitable for someone who aimes for quick progress🙁
Bit by bit ..sep by step.. but i hope i will pay off in the end... Ignition Cable needed, not delivered with the pe set. i will have to o something of copper wire🙂

15 April 2022, 19:50

My japanese is somewhat lost😉

Ok Daniel san
"I" in the "Type I heavy bomber" ("yi "might be a more appropriate English rendering of the Japanese pronunciation) is derived from the initial of Italy.
" jyubaku" is a Japanese contraction of heavy bomber. Thus, "I-shiki jyubaku" becomes "Type I heavy bomber".
Incidentally, the Ki-21 Sally (Type 97 heavy bomber) has the most familiar name "Kyunana jyubaku(here the type is omitted) in Japan. 😉

Long flight! Agree with Alec, nice to see it has landed back on the bench from the shelf of Dooooooooooooooom!

Moreno Baruffini
Hi Daniel! REALLY A PERFECT job on the etched parts!

If I may... I'm not totally convinced about the inner green, the Italian "verde anti corrosione" ( Italian Interior Green - FS 34558) was a bit different. Maybe it depends only on the light and the picture...
6 June 2022, 08:11
Daniel Klink
Hi Guys, thank you all very much for your encouraging words and motivation 👍
@Moreno yap it is more a pale reseda bluegreen..
Thanky for the feedback! Very much appreciated 👍
8 June 2022, 20:18
Daniel Klink
In order to get a authentic Br.20 i had to grind and fill the generator molded by Italeri and rebuild it a few mm forward. Luckily the whole thing is part of the etched Parts kit. Also the booth for the Observer behind the cockpit had to be cut out of the Fuselage.

Cuajete
Great, Daniel!! I can't waiting to see finished the painting job.
1 July 2022, 17:43
Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Julian, Cuajete and Maicon 👍
The bigger challenge is to take a picture where you can see it as it looks on the bench. 🙂

Camo looking good.

Now I know why I didn't get this kit in my stash - too many cool camos to choose from. Beautiful paintwork, can't stop lurking here Herr Klink 😉
4 July 2022, 20:41
James C
Looking outstanding 👍
4 July 2022, 23:38

I think like Łukasz: Too many cool camos to choose from.
5 July 2022, 17:12
Juskifo
Great job on paint DK
the marking choice is very original
5 July 2022, 19:35
Daniel Klink
Thank you all mates for you warm and praising words.. Very much appreciated 👍
Now the fiddly antenna construction must be done by scratch ...
6 July 2022, 21:21
Robin (WhiteGlint)
The magic of rigging/antennas.
I really need to look into that. Planes and ships look somehow incomplete without.
Do you use a fine sewing thread for that or special hobby material like from Uschi van der Rosten or AK, was it I believe?
7 July 2022, 07:21
Cuajete
The rigging looks great, Daniel!! 👍
How did you make the extreme parts that are holded with tweezers? Fine braided copper wire?
7 July 2022, 17:13
Moreno Baruffini
Same question as Cuajete 🙂
7 July 2022, 18:11
Daniel Klink
Hi mates, first of all many thanks for your warm and nice comments👍
Very much appreciated🤛
I used flexible rigging stuff by MiG for the wire and the triangles are soldered spare parts of a etching fret!
12 July 2022, 08:58
Живко Джаков
It looks impressive!
12 July 2022, 10:08
